    In the years 1632 t0 1639, Father Paul Le Jeune was the superior of the Jesuits of Quebec. Le Jeune, along with other Jesuits, was on a mission to seek salvation for thousands of First Nations Aboriginals who resided in North America. Many scholars argue that while the Jesuits stated their purpose to come to Canada was to Christianize the First Nations people, their activity coincided with a breakdown of the First Nations customs and beliefs. Other scholars have argued that this was not entirely an oppressive situation, as First Nations women were able to find themselves an avenue of power in their community and over their new French trader Husbands.

In Canada, their urge to separate grew larger, for there were two moments in time, where they wanted to separate. In order for the province to separate, they had to have a referendum.

  • Dreyfus Affair Research Paper

    Waldeck-Rousseau believed that religious orders needed to be contained due to the role of the Assumptionists during the Dreyfus Affair.23 As a result, he requested that all religious orders should seek authorisation to practice. In making anti-clericalism government policy, Waldeck Rousseau unintentionally fulfilled the Radical program of separation of church and state, initiating ‘the golden age of Radicalism’.24 With the government becoming full of anti-clericals, Waldeck-Rousseau resigned in 1902 and Émile Combes took over as Prime Minister. After the separation of Church and state in 1905, the radicals were given a chance to demonstrate their capabilities outside anti-clericalism.25 However, by 1906, in Clemenceau becoming Prime Minister, he highlighted the failure of Radicalism as a ‘politically progressive force’.

  • The Impact Of The Quiet Revolution

    821 Words  | 4 Pages

    To call this era of drastic change the ‘Quiet Revolution’ is a vivid, and yet, paradoxical description. The Quiet Revolution was a time of intense socio-political and socio-cultural change in Quebec, which extended beyond Quebec’s borders because of its influence on contemporary Canadian politics. As a result of the effects of the changes that occurred during this Quiet Revolution, most Quebec provincial governments since the early 1960s have maintained political and social orientations based on the core concepts developed and implemented during the Quiet Revolution. As such, there is no doubt that the Quiet Revolution had a significant impact in Canadian History. This impact can be characterized by the prelude to the Quiet Revolution; the demographic evolution of Quebec; the social educational reforms that were put in place; the economic reforms and their impact; the rise of nationalism; and finally, the cultural changes that occurred.
